Schengen Visa Rule: With the new Schengen visa regulations, Indians can now visit Europe more easily thanks to the European Union. Travelers who frequently visit the continent can now make multiple entry trips thanks to the rules that were announced last week.
Two-Year Multiple Entry Option for Indians
Indians will now be able to apply for a two-year multiple entry visa thanks to the recently implemented “cascade” system, but only those who have previously used a short-stay Schengen visa twice in the previous three years are eligible to do so.
The European Union aims to enhance its ties with India as a significant partner by implementing the new regulations. Additionally, it seeks to ensure India’s cooperation on migration policy and vice versa.
Understanding Travel Privileges to European Countries
The Schengen visa allows visits to 29 European countries for up to 90 days in a 180-day period. With a multiple-entry visa, you can travel to the Schengen area up to 180 days a year without needing to apply for a new one each time. Nevertheless, the visa does not give the bearer the ability to work within the Schengen region.
Exploring Routes to Employment in the EU
To work in the EU, one can obtain a work visa in a number of ways. A Blue Card, which only permits highly qualified non-EU citizens to live and work in any EU nation—excluding Denmark and Ireland—might be available to some people. Additionally, each EU nation is free to run its own non-EU work permit programs, which are widely employed to fill skilled labor shortages in particular industries.
For instance, Germany made changes to its Skilled Immigration Act last year to facilitate employment for non-EU nationals. Germany’s point-based system takes into account a number of factors, including age, professional experience, qualifications, German language proficiency, and ties to the country—such as family members residing there. It is mainly directed at skilled craftspeople, IT specialists, electrical engineers, nurses, and workers in the culinary and hospitality industries.
